~Story~
Two millennia ago, when Christianity was first beginning to emerge as a religion, two brothers were drunk out of their minds in the city of Rome. The first brother, Lucius Columbus, was a fervent follower of the new religion while his younger brother, Lucius Corvus, was determined to keep to the family tradition and worship the ancient Gods and Goddesses of Rome. Intoxicated with wine, their wild discussion turned to religion and beliefs. Both almost fanatical followers of their Gods and both gravely sure that their religion was right, the situation soon got out of hand.
By midnight, their hands were stained with the other's blood. The two brothers lay dead, each with slashed knife wounds on his body. Sibling killed sibling.
By chance, each brother had seven children. Corvus had three daughters and four sons, while Columbus had four daughters and three sons. God took pity upon his fervent follower's offspring, who grieved for their lost father, and gave each one of them the gift of immortality; he ordered his seven archangels, who represent the Seven Heavenly Virtues, to in turn give a piece of their souls to each young adult. Similarly, Mephistofeles -the one they call the Devil, or Evil Incarnate- saw Corvus' children consumed by hatred for their uncle and his offspring, and he gifted them with the same thing; he ordered his seven demon lords, who represent the Seven Deadly Sins, to in turn give a piece of their souls to each young adult. With each piece of soul came an element, ready to be controlled and mastered by the Immortals.
Now, the Sins and Virtues Incarnate walked the Earth: that was the beginning of a feud to last for eternity.
The RPG takes place in modern times, where immortals are a common thing. Since the Sins and Virtues found out that they too had the power to gift people with immortality and magick, they created a cast of Weavers: immortals who seek out young adults with potent soul energy and cut their thread of life, gifting them with immortality and the control of an element. However along with immortal life comes a sacrifice: it would seem as if you never existed. All the threads tying you to this world are severed, so not even your closest friends and family will remember you. All evidence of you ever existing will be automatically wiped.
All over the world, secret schools are constructed for the immortal youngsters. While they go through the normal process of education, they are also trained in combat arts and Elemental Magicks: for when they leave school, their job is to serve the Gods and their Incarnations in the war between Sins and Virtues.
However, no humans know of this. Therefore the battling must be performed in a stealthy and secretive manner. How that is going to hold up, noone knows.
You are a student at one of these schools in England. The action takes place in a fictional location. A few weeks ago, you were Turned. Your life is still in chaos and your new abilities unmastered. The school is full of both Sins and Virtues, and you don't know how you're going to cope with the hostile environment in this school. However, you need to survive this hellhole in turn to kick the ass of the opposition. That's right.

My character sheet is below:
First Name: Amethyst
Last Name: Lamore
Nickname: Am
Age: 17
Dorm: Sin
Gender: Female
Element: Fire
Deity worshipped: Leviathan, the demoness of Envy
Home country: Poland
Appearance: Amethyst is a girl unlike the others. She was always a weird one, even in the previous life, and liked to dress and look different from the other girls.
Her eyes used to be a brilliant turquoise in the human life, however now they turned into a vivid, bloody scarlet.
Her skin is a peachy colour, something not uncommon.
Her hair, which was a chestnut brown and shoulder length, layered, now turned snow white. One braid of hair grew longer and now reaches below her shoulderblades, and remains braided and decorated with multiple bones and tiny skulls, hanging on the left side of her face, usually dangling somewhere near her left ear.
She has somewhat full lips, although not as full as to be considered too large.
Her eyes are slightly tilted upwards at the outer corners, signalling at some traits of Asian blood. Also, she has slits for pupils.
She is not overly tall, and averagely slender, around 1 metre 75 height and 55 kg weight.
Character: Amethyst is a shy girl, and doesn't talk much to strangers. Once she gets to know someone, she starts to warm up, and then she spills the beans. From the shy, quiet girl Amethyst turns into a crazy, destructive volcano of energy. Some people it scares away, some people it causes to love her even more.
Amethyst always has her head in the clouds. Always daydreaming, painting, writing. She's an artist, and she seeks deeper meanings to important or curious things. She's also a loving friend, and will do nearly anything for someone or something she cares about.
History: Amethyst's story is not a curious one, nor an extraordinary one. It is a story of her simple yet full life, led by a loving girl surrounded by loving friends, until the day she stopped existing. Until the day her thread of life was severed and everyone around her didn't recognise her face. Shattered by the loss of friends and family, her personality turned somewhat erratic and dangerous, and her bi-polar spells are turning more common than usual. Now, she is just trying to adjust to her new situation and figure out what the hell is up with her life.
I would like it for a few people to have signed up before we start playing, but it's up to you when you want to start. Enjoy
